Cotabato City is once again
recognized in the health field as it receives an award from the Department of
Health because of its attainment of zero maternal and neonatal tetanus.
The only local government unit given
this recognition in the whole Region XII, Cotabato City has successfully
eliminated the cases of mothers and new born babies being infected by tetanus,
according to the DOH.
The city LGU, through the efforts of
its Office on Health Services, has achieved this goal through its intensive
information dissemination and thorough care for pregnant women in the city.
This year, it has also opened
several state-of-the-art birthing facilities in different parts of the city.
These clinics receive patients on a daily basis, decongesting the hospitals in
the city.
More are expected to open next year
(2018).
The Cotabato City LGU implements
inclusive programs that take care of every citizen's needs. Aside from constant
development in infrastructure and other government facilities, it also aims to
deliver top-notch social and economic services to every Cotabateño.
Due to its performance, the city
government has received many recognitions, the Seal of Good Local Governance being the
latest.
With the continuous support that received
from the national line-agencies and with the concerted effort of every official
and employee of the local government, it can truly achieve more.
The promise of glory and progress
for Cotabato City is now within reach. (CITY
